Among the many things revealed in the quick Super Bowl spot for Avengers: Endgame, you may have briefly noticed a nod to comic book lore with Rocket Raccoon’s outfit in one scene.
One Eagle-eyed Twitter user shared two images yesterday that showcased a side-by-side comparison of Rocket Raccoon. In one image, we have the screenshot of Rocket in Avengers: Endgame. In the second, it’s a photo of his comic book counterpart, with the user noting that Rocket’s outfit in Endgame matches what he wore in the comic books, down to the red and blue color scheme. Here, have a look at the side-by-side comparison for yourself and be the judge.

Now could this be present-day or a flashback? After all, we’ve heard for some time that Avengers: Endgame will involve some form of time travel. How else do you revive everyone snapped out of existence in Infinity War? But what do you think about the significance of Rocket Raccoon having an outfit similar to his comic book counterpart? If this is indeed the present setting, would you want to see him continue to don this outfit in other films? Or perhaps, like most of Marvel’s heroes, he’ll change costumes in between movies.
After all, we’ve seen Captain America bring back the Stealth Suit from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and his outfits change in just about every movie. So if that suit could make the jump from one movie to a future one, who is to say that Rocket Raccoon couldn’t wear this outfit beyond Avengers: Endgame? Assuming he survives through the events of Endgame, anyway. Let us know your thoughts on this in the comments below and stay tuned for more Endgame news.
Avengers: Endgame will hit theaters on April 26, 2019.

Here’s Every Hero Who Appears In The ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Trailer
Today, Marvel Studios released the first official trailer for Avengers: Endgame and revealed which heroes will likely be on hand for the re-match against Thanos.
Avengers: Infinity War united nearly every hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the showdown with Thanos and after a decade of films that proved to be an extensive roster. However, the Marvel Studios epic concluded with Thanos succeeding in his mission to acquire the Infinity Stones and use their power to erase half of the universe's population, with many of the aforementioned heroes being included among the casualties. Fortunately, the original Avengers teammates survived Thanos' decimation and it appears they will be joined by a few the new heroes who debuted since the group initially formed when they head into the second showdown with Thanos.

Iron Man
After being spared by Thanos, Tony Stark can be seen adrift in space with limited supplies and oxygen. Although Nebula appears to be with him, the unlikely companions seem to be lost with little chance of being rescued, though it is hard to imagine that Stark will spend most of what could be his final adventure away from the action.
Captain America
The First Avenger will unsurprisingly return for the conclusion of the first decade of Marvel Studios stories and he is determined to undo Thanos' decimation. Of course, many fans are concerned that reversing the decimation could come at a great cost for Captain America considering Chris Evans' contract expired with Avengers: Endgame.
Black Widow
Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a Black Widow, returns for Avengers: Endgame and it appears she's been assessing the consequences of Thanos' actions. Standing by Captain America's side as they head to attempt to reverse the decimation, Black Widow seems confident that their plan cannot fail.
Thor
Although Thor nearly defeated Thanos by stabbing through the chest with Stormbreaker, The Mad Titan had enough energy left to use the Infinity Stones to heal himself while erasing 50% of the population in the universe. Now, a contemplative Thor can be seen in the Avengers: Endgame trailer and one can't fault him for reflecting on the fact that victory was almost in his grasp.
Nebula
Nebula and Rocket Raccoon were the only Guardians of the Galaxy characters to survive Thanos' wrath, with former being left alone on Titan with Tony Stark. With the film expected to conclude Thanos' and Nebula having more reason than most to see the Mad Titan brought to justice, fans are hoping she will have an extensive role Avengers: Endgame.
Ronin
The new trailer also confirmed that Hawkeye will assume the Ronin mantle when he returns and the death of family is the likely reason for his new identity. It appears Natasha will attempt to recruit her old friend when they embark on a mission to defeat Thanos, but whether or not Hawkeye agreed to join them remains to be seen.
Ant-Man
After the mid-credits scene for Ant-Man and the Wasp, many were theorizing that the Avengers would have to rescue Scott Lang from the Quantum Realm and subsequently use the alternate dimension to travel back in time to defeat Thanos. While it appears Scott Lang managed to escape on his own, he may have brought the van containing the way to the Quantum Realm to the Avengers' front door.
Bruce Banner
While the Hulk was absent from the first Avengers: Endgame trailer, Bruce Banner managed to make a brief appearance. The brilliant scientist could be seen assessing the list of casualties of Thanos' decimation and it has clearly taken an emotional toll.
